Carlos Martín: Colchonero DNA on Trial at Mendizorroza
Carlos Martín, a homegrown player with the Atleti crest tattooed on him, faces the club of his life.
On loan at Deportivo Alavés, the Madrid-born striker will have the opportunity to prove his worth against his former team in a match he himself describes as “special” and “strange.” Despite his strong connection to Atlético de Madrid, Martín has expressed his total commitment to Alavés, the club that gave him the opportunity to debut in the First Division.
The possible absence of Aleñá could open the doors to the starting lineup in a match where he will seek to give his all for his current team and contribute to a crucial victory. Alavés also has Carlos Mouriño, another player with a past at Atlético.
After his time in Zaragoza, Atlético reserved a preferential purchase option on the Uruguayan, who has now consolidated himself in the defense of the Babazorro team after Abqar’s injury.
The connection between both clubs is evident, with up to eight players who have worn both jerseys in the last decade, including names like Giuliano, Samu Omorodion, or Marcos Llorente, who made the reverse journey after standing out in Vitoria. The match promises to be exciting, with Carlos Martín as one of the main focuses, seeking to demonstrate his quality and make it clear that Atlético sentiment does not prevent giving everything for his professional present.
